Autodesk Cloud Rendering: A Look Back

Recently, we purchased new kitchen appliances.

Photographs of our kitchen:

Taking these photographs made me recall our work on Autodesk Showroom.

Autodesk Showroom was a technology preview where we used photorealistic rendering as part of a simulated shopping experience. Using on-demand rendering allowed potential buyers to configure a kitchen and see what combination of flooring, cabinets, and appliances would really look like. The results were so realistic that it was hard to distinguish a computer rendering from a photograph.
